Keyboard
USING THE KEYBOARD
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has an integral 84-key keyboard. The keys perform all the standard functions of a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows keys and other special function keys. This section describes the following keys. (Figure 2-17)

NUMERIC KEYPAD
Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys. NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] key. Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way. Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0 through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ), multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the front edge of the key to indicate their secondary functions. (Figure 2-17)

Numeric keypad: Your Tablet PC allows certain keys to serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to toggle between the standard character and numerical keys is controlled through the [NumLk] key. Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to the right, left, up, or down within windows, applications and documents. Function keys: The keys labeled [F1] through [F12], are used in conjunction with the [Fn] key to produce special actions that vary depending on what program is running. Windows keys: These keys work with your Windows operating system and function the same as the onscreen Start menu button, or the right button on your pointing device.

WINDOWS KEYS
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has two Windows keys: a Start key and an Application key. The Start key displays the Start menu. This button functions the same as your onscreen Start menu button. The Application key functions the same as your right mouse button and displays shortcut menus for the selected item. (Please refer to your Windows documentation for additional information regarding the Windows keys.) (Figure 2-17)

CURSOR KEYS
The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left, and right in applications. In programs such as Windows Explorer, it moves the focus (selects the next item up, down, left, or right). (Figure 2-17)

21

Volume Control
Your Fujitsu Tablet PC has multiple volume controls which interact with each other.
Any software that contains audio files will also contain a volume control of its own. If you install an external audio device that has an independent volume control, the hardware volume control and the software volume control will interact with each other. It should be noted that if you set your software volume to Off, you will override the external volume control setting.

CONTROLLING THE VOLUME


The volume can be controlled in several different ways:

Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on the Taskbar. Volume can be controlled with the [F8] and [F9] functions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will decrease the volume of your Tablet PC. Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of your Tablet PC.
There are twenty-six levels through which the function keys cycle.

Volume can be controlled by many volume controls that are set within individual applications. Certain external audio devices you might connect to your system may have hardware volume controls. Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the other sources.

We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.

USING THE PEN
You can use the LifeBook T Series Tablet PC pen to generate and create electronic ink, to select items, and to navigate through programs on the Tablet PC. Programs that support handwriting recognition also allow you to write characters directly on the screen with the pen. You can also use the pen as a drawing tool.
You are advised to use a screen protector on your system display to minimize the chance of its being scratched. Screen protectors are available from the Fujitsu Web site at us.fujitsu.com/computers.

nation with the tip switch). The rear toggle of the barrel button switch acts as an electronic ink eraser. The functions of the rear toggle and the tip click pressure can be changed by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel, and double-clicking the Fujitsu Pen Settings icon. To change the rear toggle function, select the drop-down list to select a new function, then click [Apply]. If you dont want the rear toggle to have any function, select Ignore from the list. Adjusting the click pressure determines how much pressure must be put on the pen tip in order for the screen to react. The softer it is set, less pressure is required; the harder it is set, more pressure is required. To change the click pressure, use the slider bar to make the click pressure harder or softer, then click [Apply].
Use only the pen provided with your Tablet PC. Do not use substitutes that were not designed for the LifeBook T Series Tablet PC.

Barrel Switch

Tip Switch

Here are some hints that may help you use the pen more effectively: To activate the tip switch, tap or hold the pen tip against the screen.
Figure 2-24. LifeBook T Series Pen

The LifeBook T Series Tablet PC pen is a high-quality electronic instrument that can be damaged if used improperly. Treat the pen as you would any precision device. Observe the following guidelines: Do not tap the pen on surfaces other than the Tablet PC screen. Do not try to turn the thumb grip on the pen; it is designed for inserting and removing the pen from the pen holder. Never store the pen with the tip bearing the weight of the pen (e.g., sitting tip down in a pencil cup). Storing the pen tip down could distort the internal mechanism over a period of time (especially in higher temperatures), causing the tip to act as if it is always depressed. The pen should be stored in the pen holder when not in use.

To activate the barrel button switch, press and hold the end of the button you wish to use (front toggle is the right mouse button switch; the rear toggle acts as an electronic eraser). To move the cursor, hold the pen tip within 1/8 inch (3 - 5 mm) from the screen and move the pen. To start a program, double-tap the pen tip (tap the pen tip twice rapidly) on the program icon as you would double-click a mouse. To select an object, tap the pen tip on the object once. To double-click an object, quickly tap the object twice.

INSTALLING A PEN TETHER


To prevent dropping or losing your pen, you should attach it to your system using the pen tether that is included with the system. To attach the pen tether to your Tablet PC, perform the following steps: 1. Attach the end of the pen tether with the smaller loop to your pen. Do do so, push the end of the tether through the hole in the pen, then thread the opposite end of the tether through the loop. (See Figure 2-25.)

The screen reacts when the pen tip is approximately 1/8 inch (3-5 mm) from the screen. The pen has three switches: a tip switch and a barrel button toggle switch with switches at both ends.

Power Management
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are automatic and need no user intervention, such as those for the internal modem. However, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your Tablet PC may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, pre-bundled power management application, or from settings made in BIOS setup utility.
Power Mode Fully On Mode System Activity System is running. CPU, system bus, and all other interfaces operate at full speed.

Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent your Tablet PC battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your Tablet PC into Standby mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off between performance and power savings.
Events causing system to enter mode state From Standby mode: System operation resumed (Suspend/Resume button pressed, resume on modem ring, resume on time). From Hibernation mode: Suspend/Resume button pressed. From Off mode: Suspend/Resume button pressed. Standby timeout occurs. Suspend request issued by software or by pressing the Suspend/Resume button. Low battery. Suspend timeout occurs. Clicking Start -> Shut Down -> Hibernate (It may be necessary to Enable Hibernate Support from Windows Power Options.) Low battery condition System shutdown. Low battery condition

Standby Mode (Suspend-to-RAM)

Resume system logic remains powered and RAM remains powered to maintain active data. All other devices are turned off. Windows saves desktop state (including open files and documents) to hard disk. CPU stops. All other devices are turned off. System is fully powered off except for logic components required for Suspend/ Resume button and real-time clock operation.

Hibernation Mode (Suspend-to-Disk)

Power Off

Table 3-1. System Power States

SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON
When your Tablet PC is active, the Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put your Tablet PC into Standby mode. Push the Suspend/Resume button when your Tablet PC is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. You will hear two short beeps and your system will enter Standby mode. (See figure 2-6 on page 14 for location). If your Tablet PC is suspended, pushing the Suspend/ Resume button will return your Tablet PC to active operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in Standby mode by looking at the Power indicator. See Power Indicator on page 17. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your Tablet PC is fully operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing, your Tablet PC is in Standby mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off or your Tablet PC is in Hibernate mode (See Hibernate Mode)

STANDBY MODE
Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your Tablet PCs system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU, the display, the hard drive, and all of the other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and allow for restarting. Your Tablet PC can be put in Standby mode by:

Pressing the Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on. Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu. Timing out from lack of activity. Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition. Closing the system cover.

Your Tablet PCs system memory typically stores the file(s) on which you are working, open application(s) information, and any other data required to support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation

38

Getting Started

from Standby mode, your Tablet PC will return to the point where it left off. To resume operation, you must use the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your Tablet PC will not resume.
If you are running your Tablet PC on battery power, be aware that the battery continues to discharge while your Tablet PC is in Standby mode, though not as fast as when fully operational.

Using Hibernate Mode Hibernate default setting is enabled for Windows XP. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these easy steps: 1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select Control Panel -> Power Options. 2. Select Hibernation, and then select the box to enable or disable this feature. To use Hibernate mode with your system: 1. Click on the Start button, click Shut Down. 2. Select Hibernate option from the What do you want the computer to do list.

HIBERNATE MODE
The Hibernate mode saves the contents of your Tablet PCs system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. Your Tablet PC is preconfigured to perform this function. The Hibernate mode can also be configured through the system BIOS to run in other ways depending on what you need to accomplish. See BIOS Setup Utility on page 36.

DISPLAY TIMEOUT
The Video Timeout is one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer activity will cause the display to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows Power Management.

Standby or Hibernate modes should not be used with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documentation for more information. Disabling the Suspend/Resume button prevents it from being used to put your Tablet PC in Standby or Hibernate mode. The resume function of the button cannot be disabled. If your Tablet PC is actively accessing information when you enter Standby or Hibernate mode, changes to open files are not lost. The files are left open and memory is kept active during Standby mode or the memory is transferred to the hard drive during Hibernate mode. When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Save-to-Disk mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspension, because all peripheral devices will be reinitialized when the system restarts. The main advantage of using Hibernate mode is that power is not required to maintain your data. This is very important if you will be leaving your Tablet PC in a suspended state for a prolonged period of time. The drawback of using Hibernate mode is that it lengthens the power down and power up sequences and resets peripheral devices.

HARD DISK TIMEOUT


The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive activity for the user selected timeout period. Any attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows.

WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT


The Power Options icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the Tablet PC on battery power or one of the adapters.

RESTARTING THE SYSTEM


If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure. 1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down. 2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box. 3. Click OK. Your Tablet PC will shut down and reboot.

39

LifeBook T Series Tablet PC - Section Three

Turning off your Tablet PC without exiting Windows or turning on your Tablet PC within 10 seconds of the Tablet PC being shut off may cause an error when you start the next time.

POWER OFF
Before turning off the power by choosing Shut Down from the Windows Start menu, check that the Hard Drive, CD-ROM, PC Card and the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicators are all Off. (See Figure 2-9 on page 17) If you turn off the power while accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To assure that your Tablet PC shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure. Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows, allows your Tablet PC to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is: 1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down. 2. Select the Shut Down option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box. 3. Click OK. If you are going to store your Tablet PC for a month or more see the Care and Maintenance section.

User-Installable Features

Lithium ion Battery


Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has a Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating your Tablet PC when no external power source is available. The battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other hazards. The Lithium ion battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:

The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your Tablet PC and connect the AC or Auto/ Airline adapter.
Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon on the Status Indicator Panel.

When used at temperatures lower than 41 F (5 C) or higher than 95 F (35 C). Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range. See Battery Charging/ Level Indicators on page 17. When using a high current device such as a modem, CD-ROM drive, or hard drive, using the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.

There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery, therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be longer if your Tablet PC is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your Tablet PC into Standby mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. See Power Management on page 38.
Using heavy current devices such as a modem or frequent CD-ROM and PCMCIA powered external device accesses may prevent charging completely.

Do not leave a faulty battery in your Tablet PC. It may damage your AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter, another battery or your Tablet PC itself. It may also prevent operation of your Tablet PC by draining all available current into the bad battery. Under federal, state, or local law it may be illegal to dispose of batteries by putting them in the trash. Please take care of our environment and dispose of batteries properly. Check with your local government authority for details regarding recycling or disposing of old batteries. If you cannot find this information elsewhere, contact your support representative at 1-800-8Fujitsu.

Low Battery State When the battery is running low, your Tablet PC will beep every 15 seconds and the Battery Level indicator will flash. If you do not respond to the low battery alarm, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When this happens there will be a multiple beep alarm and the Battery Level indicator will show a dead battery. Your Tablet PC will then go into Standby mode to try and protect your data for as long as possible. There is no guarantee that your data will not be lost once the Tablet PC reaches this point.

Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition and other customer preferences. CD-ROM drive or hard drive usage may also have a significant impact on battery life. The battery charging capacity is reduced as the battery ages. If your battery is running low quickly, you should replace it with a new one.

You may not be able to hear the alarm if the volume control is set too low or is turned off by the hardware or software. However, you will be able to see the Battery Level indicator flash. Once the low battery alarm occurs you must save all your data and put your Tablet PC into Standby mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery or AC or Auto/Airline Adapter as soon as possible. When you are in Standby mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you remove all power sources while your Tablet PC is in Standby mode, any data that has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost.

RECHARGING THE BATTERY


If you want to know the condition of the Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.

43

LifeBook T Series Tablet PC - Section Four

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Standby mode. Once your Tablet PC goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your Tablet PC while an adapter is charging the battery. Shorted Batteries The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display the operating level available in that battery. (See figure on page 17) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means that the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage any other parts of your Tablet PC.

MODEM RESULT CODES


The operating system and application software that is factory installed detects the modem characteristics and provides the necessary command strings to operate the modem. The internal modem operation is controlled by generic AT commands from the operating system and application software. The standard long form result codes may, in some cases, be displayed on your screen to keep you informed of the actions of your modem. The operating system and application software may suppress display of the result codes. Examples of result codes are:

OK NO CARRIER NO DIALTONE CONNECT 53000 (Connection complete at 53,000 bps.) ERROR FAX RING (This means an incoming call.) BUSY NO ANSWER

When using the internal modem with applications that are not factory installed refer to the application documentation.

Troubleshooting

Restoring Your Pre-installed Software


The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) DVD contains sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific directories) that are unique to your Tablet PC configuration for use as documented below.
In order to install applications and/or drivers from the DAR DVD, you will need access to a DVD drive. If you do not have a built-in modular DVD drive, you will need to connect an external DVD drive to your system.

The components listed are color-coded in terms of their install status. Blue indicates that the component can be installed. Green indicates that the component needs to be installed separately. Grey indicates a component that is already installed; grey items can be reinstalled, but prior to installation you will receive a reminder that the component is already installed and may need to be uninstalled prior to reinstallation.

If you have access to the internet, visit the Fujitsu Support web site at http:// www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support to check for the most current information, drivers and hints on how to perform recovery and system updates.

RE-INSTALLING INDIVIDUAL DRIVERS AND APPLICATIONS


The Drivers and Applications CD can be used to selectively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have been un-installed or corrupted.
There may be certain free third-party applications pre-installed on your system that are not on the DAR CD. The latest versions of the applications can be downloaded from the third-partys website.

4. In the list, check off all the components you want to install. If you want to install all components, click [Select All]. Clicking [Select All] will select all of the blue-coded components; you must select grey and green components separately. 5. Once you have selected the components you wish to install, click [Install Selected Subsystems]; the components will be installed. 6. After the components are installed, click [OK], then click [Yes] when asked if you want to reboot the system.

RESTORING THE FACTORY IMAGE


The Restore Disc that came with your system contains two utilities:

The Recovery utility allows you to restore the original contents of the C: drive. The Hard Disk Data Delete utility on this disc is used to delete all data on your hard disk and prevent it from being reused. Do not use Hard Disk Data Delete unless you are absolutely certain that you want to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions.
The use of this disc requires that you have a device capable of reading DVDs attached to your system. If you do not have a built-in DVD player, you will need to attach an external player. For more information on available external devices, visit our Web site at: us.fujitsu.com/ computers. This disc can only be used with the system with which it was purchased.

To re-install drivers and/or applications: 1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after Windows has started. A Fujitsu Installer screen is displayed after the CD is inserted. 2. After reading the License Agreement, click [I agree]. 3. A window will appear containing a list of applications, drivers, and utilities that you can install from the Drivers and Applications CD.

BOOT Priority Change Before restoring an image, you must first verify that your system is set up to boot from the DVD drive. To verify/ change the boot-up priority (rather than booting-up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive), perform the following steps:

69

LIFEBOOK T SERIES TABLET PC


Caring for your Tablet PC Your Tablet PC is a durable but sensitive electronic device. Treat it with care.

Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable carrying case. Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Any unauthorized service performed on the computer will void the warranty. Always follow installation instructions closely. Keep it away from food and beverages. If you accidentally spill liquid on your Tablet PC: 1. Turn it off. 2. Position it so that the liquid can run out. 3. Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed. 4. If your Tablet PC will not boot after it has dried out, call your support representative. Do not use your Tablet PC in a wet environment (near a bathtub, swimming pool). Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for your Tablet PC. Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other environmental hazards. Do not expose your Tablet PC to direct sunlight for long periods of time as temperatures above 140 F (60 C) may damage your Tablet PC. Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots when they are not in use. Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer. If you are carrying your Tablet PC in a briefcase, or any other carrying case, make sure that there are no objects in the case pressing on the lid. Do not drop your Tablet PC. Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects.

Traveling with your Tablet PC Do not transport your Tablet PC while it is turned on.

Do not check your Tablet PC as baggage. Carry it with you. When traveling with the hard drive removed, wrap the drive in a non-conducting materials (cloth or paper). If you have the drive checked by hand, be ready to install the drive if needed. Never put your hard drive through a metal detector. Have your hard drive handinspected by security personnel. You can however, put your hard drive through a properly tuned X-ray machine. Take the necessary plug adapters if you're traveling overseas. Check the following diagram to determine which adapter you'll need or ask your travel agent.

KEYBOARD
Caring for your Keyboard The keyboard of your computer is a very sensitive instrument. It is made up of many switches that are activated when you press on the keys. The keyboard is a major component of the heat dissipation system in a Tablet PC. Due to heat and size considerations the keyboard is not sealed. Because the keys are so close together, it is not easy for the user to see when liquids have fallen onto the circuitry below the keys. Attempting to clean the keyboard with a spray on cleaner or rag soaked with cleaner the liquid can drip onto the circuitry sight unseen. Once the liquid seeps between the layers of circuitry, it can cause corrosion or other damage to the circuits. This can result in keys which no longer operate, or which, when pressed, record the wrong characters and other similar failures. There is no repair for this problem other than replacement. The solution is to become aware of the issue and take appropriate steps to protect your keyboard. To clean the keyboard, use a rag dampened slightly with cleaning solution. Use extreme care to prevent liquid from dripping between the keys. Spraying directly on the keys should be avoided. The spray should be applied first to the cloth, and then the cloth wiped over the keys.

Always use fully charged batteries. Eject PCMCIA cards when not in use.

OPTIONAL FLOPPY DISK DRIVE AND FLOPPY DISKS


Caring for your Floppy Disks Avoid using floppy disks in damp and dusty locations.

Never store a floppy disk near a magnet or magnetic field. Do not use a pencil or an eraser on a disk or disk label. Avoid storing the floppy disks in extremely hot or cold locations, or in locations subject to severe temperature changes. Store at temperatures between 50 F (10 C) and 125 F (52 C). Do not touch the exposed part of the disk behind the metal shutter.

Caring for your Optional Floppy Disk Drive To clean, wipe the floppy disk drive clean with a dry soft cloth, or with a soft cloth dampened with water or a solution of neutral detergent. Never use benzene, paint thinner or other volatile material.

BATTERIES
Caring for your Batteries Always handle batteries carefully.

Avoid storing the floppy disk drive in extremely hot or cold locations, or in locations subject to severe temperature changes. Store at temperatures between 50 F (10 C) and 125 F (52 C). Keep the floppy disk drive out of direct sunlight and away from heating equipment. Avoid storing the floppy disk drive in locations subject to shock and vibration. Never use the floppy disk drive with any liquid, metal, or other foreign matter inside the floppy disk drive or disk. Never disassemble or dismantle your floppy disk drive.

Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire. Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incinerate the battery. Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas. Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life. Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than six months without recharging it.

OPTIONAL OPTICAL DRIVE AND DISCS


Caring for your discs CDs and DVD discs are precision devices and will function reliably if given reasonable care.

Always store your discs in their case when not in use. Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching the surface. Avoid storing any discs in extreme temperatures. Do not bend discs or set heavy objects on them. Do not spill liquids on discs. Do not scratch discs. Do not put a label on discs. Do not get dust on discs.

Increasing Battery Life Keep brightness to the lowest comfortable level.


Set the power management for maximum battery life. Put your Tablet PC in Standby mode when it is turned on and you are not actually using it. Limit your CD-ROM access. Disable the Windows CD auto insert function.

74

Care and Maintenance

Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen or pencil. Always use a felt pen. If a disc is subjected to a sudden change in temperature, cold to warm condensation may form on the surface. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free cloth and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT use a hair dryer or heater to dry discs. If a disc is dirty, use only a disc cleaner or wipe it with a clean, soft, lint free cloth starting from the inner edge and wiping to the outer edge.

Caring for your Optional Optical Drive Your optical drive is durable but you must treat it with care. Please pay attention to the following points:

The drive rotates the compact disk at a very high speed. Do not carry it around or subject it to shock or vibration with the power on. Avoid using or storing the drive where it will be exposed to extreme temperatures. Avoid using or storing the drive where it is damp or dusty. Use of a commercially-available lens cleaner kit is recommended to maintain the drive lens. Avoid using or storing the drive near magnets or devices that generate strong magnetic fields. Avoid using or storing the drive where it will be subjected to shock or vibration. Do not disassemble or dismantle the optical drive.

PC CARDS
Caring for your PC Card Slots PC Cards are durable, but you must treat them with care. The documentation supplied with your PC Cards provides specific information for caring for the cards. When you dont have a PC Card installed in your system, you should be sure to install the PC Card slot inserts that came with your system. These will help to keep dust and dirt out of your system.

Before Using the Wireless LAN


This manual describes the procedures required to properly setup and configure the integrated Wireless LAN Mini-PCI device (referred to as WLAN device in the rest of the manual). Before using the WLAN device, read this manual carefully to ensure it's correct operation. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. Wireless LAN Devices Covered by this Document This document is applicable to systems containing one of the following two devices. Most of the procedures are identical. Sections that differ between the two devices have been noted in the text:

Keying (CCK) when the WLAN device is operating in IEEE 802.11b mode and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) when operating in IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode.

The WLAN device is Wi-Fi certified and operates at the maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps in IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode and 11 Mbps in IEEE802.11b mode. The maximum communication range indoors is approximately 80 feet (25 meters). However, that range will increase or decrease depending on factors such as number of walls, reflective material, or interference from external RF sources. The specific WLAN devices supports all of the encryption methods - WEP, TKIP, and AES. The WLAN device may also support the following data-link layer security mechanisms - LEAP, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and PEAP.

Intel PROSet Wireless LAN card (WM3B2200BG) Atheros Wireless LAN card (WLL4030) The WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the main board of the mobile computer. It is a dual-band radio that operates in two license-free RF bands, therefore eliminating the need to procure an FCC license to operate. It operates in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band. Additionally, the Atheros device operates in the lower and middle bands of the 5 GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) bands (for IEEE802.11a). The Atheros WLAN is capable of three operating modes, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g, wireless LAN standards governed by the IEEE (Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers). The Intel (WM3B2200BG) WLAN is capable of two operating modes, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g. The Intel (WM3B2100) is capable of one operating mode, IEEE802.11b. Encoding of data is modulated using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code

Characteristics of the WLAN Device

WIRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS DEVICE


Ad Hoc Mode (See Figure A-1) Ad Hoc Mode refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers. Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authentication, and encryption key settings are identically configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.

96

W i r e l e s s L A N U s e r s G u i d e

Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode (See Figure A-2) Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network architecture in which devices communicate with wireless or wired network devices by communicating through an Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or can communicate with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to access computers, devices, and services such as file servers, printers, and databases. How to Handle This Device The WLAN device comes pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Operating System that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.

The Intel WLAN devices operate in the 2.4GHz ISM band; the Atheros WLAN device also operates in the 5 GHz lower and middle UNII bands. The maximum range of the WLAN device indoors is typically 80 feet (25 meters). Please note that the maximum range you achieve may be shorter or longer than 80 feet, depending on factors such as access point transmit power, number and density of obstructions, or external RF interference. Microwave ovens, cordless phones, and wireless cameras may interfere with the operation of WLAN device as microwave ovens operate in the same 2.4 GHz frequency range that IEEE802.11b/g devices operate in. Interference by microwaves does not occur with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band. Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GHz frequency range may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects, and large amounts of frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure the proper operation of the WLAN device.

WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS

The Intel (WM3B2200BG) WLAN devices are dualmode wireless network cards (supports IEEE802.11b/ g); the Atheros device supports IEEE802.11a/b/g; the Intel (W3B2100) WLAN device supports 802.11b.

DEACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE


Deactivation of the WLAN device may be desired in certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where certain environments require it (e.g., hospitals, clinics, airplanes, etc.). Fujitsu mobile computers employ two methods with which to deactivate the WLAN device, 1) the Wireless On/Off Switch and 2) in Windows using the Intel PROSet, or Atheros Client Utility software. Deactivation using the Wireless On/Off Switch The WLAN device can be deactivated quickly and efficiently by toggling the Wireless On/Off Switch to the Off position. (Figure A-3) The Wireless On/Off switch has no effect on non-Wireless LAN models.

Troubleshooting
Causes and countermeasures for troubles you may encounter while using your wireless LAN are described in the following table.
Problem Possible Cause Incorrect network name (SSID) or network key Possible Solution Ad hoc connection: verify that the network names (SSIDs) and network keys (WEP) of all computers to be connected have been configured correctly. SSIDs and WEP key values must be identical on each machine. Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: set the network name (SSID) and network key to the same values as those of the access point. Set the Network Authentication value identically to that of the Access Point. Please consult your network administrator for this value, if necessary. For the method of setting network authentication, refer to the following page:Assigning parameters on page 100 Weak received signal strength and/or link quality Ad hoc connection: Retry connection after shortening the distance to the destination computer or removing any obstacles for better sight. Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: Retry connection after shortening the distance to the access point or removing any obstacles for better sight. Check if the wireless switch is turned ON. Also verify Disable Radio is not checked in Network setting window. Refer to Starting Transmission on page 98. Check if the computer to be connected is turned ON.

Unavailable network connection

The WLAN device has been deactivated or disabled The computer to be connected is turned off RF interference from Access Points or other wireless networks Wireless network authentication has failed

The use of identical or overlapping RF channels can cause interference with the operation of the WLAN device. Change the channel of your Access Point to a channel that does not overlap with the interfering device. Re-check your Network Authentication, Encryption, and Security settings. Incorrectly configured security settings such as an incorrectly typed WEP key, a mis-configured LEAP username, or an incorrectly chosen authentication method will cause the LAN device to associate but not authenticate to the wireless network. Recheck the configuration of your network settings. For the method of checking, refer to the following page:Connection to the Network on page 103. This only applies to networks using static IP addresses. Please contact your network administrator for the correct settings.

Wireless LAN Glossary


Ad Hoc Mode Ad Hoc Mode refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Points. Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. For details, refer to Ad hoc connection on page 96. Channel Range of narrow-band frequencies used by the WLAN device to transmit data. IEEE802.11b/g - 11 channels, 22 MHz wide channels. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate IP addresses to computers on a local area network. DNS (Domain Name System) A data query service that provides a mechanism with which to translate host names into Internet addresses. IEEE802.11a Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps. 802.11a devices operate in the 5 GHz lower and middle UNII bands. IEEE802.11b Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data rate of 11 Mbps. 802.11b devices operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Access point Wireless network device used to bridge wireless and wired network traffic. IP address The logical 32-bit host address defined by the Internet Protocol that uniquely identifies a computer on a network. The IP address is usually expressed in dotted decimal notation. LAN (Local Area Network) A LAN or Local Area Network is a computer network (or data communications network) which is confined to a limited geographical area. MAC address (Media Access Control Address) A MAC address (also called an Ethernet address or IEEE MAC address) is the 48-bit address (typically written as twelve hexadecimal digits, 0 through 9 and A through F, or as six hexadecimal numbers separated by periods or colons, e.g., 0080002012ef, 0:80:0:2:20:ef) which uniquely identifies a computer that has an Ethernet interface. MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) The maximum size of data which can be transmitted at one time in networks including the Internet. In an environment whose maximum size of data is too large to correctly receive data, normal communications can be restored by setting the size of MTU to a smaller value. Network key Data that is used for encrypting data in data communication. The personal computer uses the same network key both for data encryption and decryption, therefore, it is necessary to set the same network key as the other side of communication. Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier) When a wireless LAN network is configured, grouping is performed to avoid interference or data theft. This grouping is performed with Network name (SSID). In order to improve security, the network key is set allowing no communication unless Network name (SSID) coincides with the network key. Open system authentication Null authentication method specified in the 802.11 standard that performs no authentication checks on a wireless client before allowing it to associate. PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) A method of allowing the authentication protocol adopted in telephone line connection (PPP) to be used over an Ethernet. Protocol A procedure or rule of delivering data among computers. Ordered data communication is allowed by making all conditions required for communication including the method of data transmission/reception and actions upon communication errors into procedures.

Shared key authentication 802.11 network authentication method in which the AP sends the client device a challenge text packet that the client must then encrypt with the correct WEP key and return to the AP. If the client has the wrong key or no key, authentication will fail and the client will not be allowed to associate with the AP. Shared key authentication is not considered secure, because a hacker who detects both the clear-text challenge and the same challenge encrypted with a WEP key can decipher the WEP key. SSID (Service Set Identifier) Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. Because the SSID is broadcast in plain text, it does not supply any security to the network. Subnet mask TCP-IP network is controlled by being divided into multiple smaller networks (subnets). IP address consists of the subnet address and the address of each computer. Subnet mask defines how many bits of IP address comprise the subnet address. The same value shall be set among computers communicating with each other. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) A standard protocol of the Internet. Wi-Fi Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, is a set of standards for wireless local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11 specifications. Certified products can use the official Wi-Fi logo, which indicates that the product is interoperable with any other product also showing that logo.

IP address information
IP addressing is much more complicated than can be briefly explained in this document. You are advised to consult with your network administrator for additional information.

If IP address is unknown, set IP address as follows: If you have an access point (DHCP server) on the network, set the IP address as follows: [Obtain an IP address automatically]
A DHCP server is a server that automatically assigns IP addresses to computers or other devices in the network. There is no DHCP server for the AdHoc network.

If the IP address is already assigned to the computer in the network, ask the network administrator to check the IP address to be set for the computer. If no access point is found in the network: An IP address is expressed with four values in the range between 1 and 255. Set the each computer as follows: The value in parentheses is a subnet mask. <Example> Computer A: 192.168.100.2 (255.255.255.0) Computer B: 192.168.100.3 (255.255.255.0) Computer C: 192.168.100.4 (255.255.255.0) : : Computer X: 192.168.100.254 (255.255.255.0)
